I recently used Attorney Sheri Coover for my divorce. I found her on Google and the reviews were excellent but I was still a bit skeptical. Before signing my contract, she provided me a free 1-hour consultation and I knew from that moment forward that I would not be disappointed. I just finalized my divorce and I can't say enough good things about Attorney Coover. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who not only met my needs but exceeded them. She was very responsive and sensitive to my situation. I would recommended Attorney Coover to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

One of the most common questions that people ask me, “the police didn’t read me my rights—can’t we get the charges thrown out?” Relatively simple question but, like most things in the law, a complicated answer.
